Ernst Reijseger Cello
Harmen Fraanje Piano
Mola Sylla Vocals, M'bira, Xalam, Kongoma
This fresh trio played its first concert in April 2008 in Tilburg, the Netherlands.
Although the concert was planned almost one year earlier, the incredible heavy traffic in Holland and a 8 hour delay of Mola's flight from Chicago
resulted in an unprepared first meeting, live on stage. And what kind of a meeting!
Ernst, Harmen and Mola played together as if they shared a livetime musical friendship; the musicians as well as the audience experienced an overwhelming concert full of risk and joy! Luckely this first meeting was recorded by someone in the audience.
The combination of these musicians and this instruments create a very authentic sound and a unique character; a humorous, generous world where an outpouring of improvisational brilliance is guided by a fearsomely dedicated technique.
The repertoire contains African songs in Wolof, the native language of the Senegalese singer Mola, and beautiful compositions by Ernst and Harmen.
In addition to his mystical singing, Mola plays his tiny African instruments like the lute-like Xalam, the Kongoma and the M'bira.
Imagine this in combination with the lyrical melodies of the very sensitive Dutch pianist Harmen and the always surprising 'improguru' Ernst.
A must-see!
Afgelopen zaterdag deze goden gezien en gehoord bij HotHouse in Leiden. Van begin tot eind ademloos en soms met een traan zitten kijken. Geen woorden voor zo mooi, krachtig, ritmisch en vol humor en pure schoonheid. Magisch! Bovendien 3 zeer sympathieke mannen. Dank, Merci!
